But economics is not McCain's, you know, thing.
"The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should," he said in December. A month earlier he mentioned that, with a vice presidential candidate, "you also look for people who maybe have talents you don't, or experience or knowledge you don't, as well." He said he'd look for "somebody who's really well grounded in economics."
Oops. Palin's talent is energy.
